China is right that Taiwan Strait is not international waters. From UNCLOS Part 3 Article 38:
1. In straits referred to in article 37, all ships and aircraft enjoy the right of transit passage, which shall not be impeded; except that, if the strait is formed by an island of a State bordering the strait and its mainland, transit passage shall not apply if there exists seaward of the island a route through the high seas or through an exclusive economic zone of similar convenience with respect to navigational and hydrographical characteristics.

The point of view from a maritime policy analyst: the concept of "international waters" does not exist in UNCLOS:
Yet neither “international waters” nor “international waterway” appear in UNCLOS, the foundation of the international order in the oceans. There is no such legal entity as “international waters”. This is a US navy invention to connote waters in which they have “freedom of navigation”.

Why the U.S. hates Assange so much? Because he exposed such despicable U.S. war crimes:

Wait until Lula gets elected in Brazil:

They're going to try and stop people from buying Russian gas over a certain price.

How they're going to enforce it is through not lending money via whatever for oil purchases.

At least, that's what they say.

Realistically, yea they're probably going to start stealing Russian oil, the bastards.
the oil is in the ground in Russia. they can't steal it. Russia can simply refuse to sell or force bartering, and there's nothing they can do about it. at some point they either eat the risk of not insuring it, or their cars stop running. it's that simple.

it will have knockon effects such as exposing the vampire insurance companies as frauds that don't actually insure anything but just skim profits off the top by needlessly increasing prices.

This deserves a posting here... upto 50 million Americans can suffer from long covid.

"A “mass disabling event” is not playing out in the data we have. That could change in the months and years to come, or else it might indicate that we’re in another kind of moment, one that leaves tens of millions of Americans feeling somewhat worse off than they were before, not so sick that they can’t hold down a job or need medical attention, but also not quite back to baseline. Call it a “mass deterioration event.”

Come to think of it, may be that is what the US wants - to force Europe to stop buying oil from Russia and crash her economy, now that EU is having second thought about whether it is possible to wean themselves off Russian energy.

The US is fighting tooth and nail to maintain her hegemony position. By all indication, China/Russia will likely be able to force their way into a bipolar world. When that happens, someone else will want a third seat at the table too. Who will be the most likely candidate - EU. So the US might as well crash the EU economy now and make it forever dependent on the US.

So much for my conspiracy theory. ;)

China is getting a HELL of a deal. Russian oil has dropped to about 50 Rubles per liter.

The west is getting hammered by inflation while China grows its economy using cheap Russian gas. This is a double boon to a manufacturing intensive economy like China.

Not to mention China can even resell this oil to Europe for a handsome premium if it so chooses :)
